User`s guide

In the diagram below, the container stands for a group; the one-color circle stands for a machine

with one applied policy; the two-color circle stands for a machine with two applied policies; the

white circle stands for a machine with no policy applied.

1. Here is the initial state: two custom groups contain different machines. A policy is applied to one

group; another policy is applied to another group. The next schemes illustrate results of the specified

actions.

2. Move to another group: Machine #3 is moved from one group to another. The "orange" policy is

revoked; the "blue" policy is applied to the machine.

3. Add to another group: Machine #3 is added to another group. It becomes a member of both

groups. The "blue" policy is applied, but the "orange" policy remains on the machine.

4. Remove from the group: Machine #3 is removed from the group. The "orange" policy is revoked

from the machine. The machine remains in the All machines group.

2.12.4.3 Inheritance of policies

Policy inheritance can be easily understood if we assume that a machine can be a member of only

one group besides the All machines group. Let's start from this simplified approach.
